The Story in 60 Seconds

The Boston Bruins completed a three-game sweep of their California road trip with a 4-1 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday night. Despite playing on the second night of a back-to-back without the injured Pavel Zacha and scratched Nikita Zadorov, Boston overcame an early deficit to improve to a 7-2-0 record on the season.

Alex Laferriere scored just 31 seconds in for the Kings, but Boston surged in the third period. Marat Khusnutdinov scored the go-ahead goal off a setup from Matthew Poitras before setting up an Elias Lindholm empty-netter.
